BRAZIER FOR COOKING STOVES OR RANGES.

' Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 52,5 I9, datedFebruary 13, 12566.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, NATHAN O. BOND, of Hyannis, in the county ofBarnstable and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and usefulor'lmproved Brazier for Cooking Stoves or Ranges; and l do herebydeclare the same t0v be fully described in the following specificationand represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 is atop View, Fig. 2 aside elevation, and Fig. 3 a transverse section, ofit.

The said brazier is intended to be used in' the boiler-pot openin g ofthe covering-plate of the lire-place of a stove or range. lIhe purposeof the said brazier is to hold charcoal or fuel in a state of ignition,-to support over such fuel an article to be cooked or a vessel to beheated, and to cause the air for supporting combustion to pass into themouth ofthe brazier, and thence go down through the fuel, whereby thesmoke, gases, and volatile products of combustion, instead of beingcarried upward a gainsttheobject to be heated,warmed, or cooked, as thecase may be, to the injury thereof, will be turned in a direction awaytherefrom, and by going through the mass of fuel will be more or lessburned, so as to add to the heat radiated upward therefrom.

In the drawings, A is a pan or basin having the form of a conic frustumand its bottom pierced with holes. It also has a iiaring rim, B,provided with a series of ledges, aa a, raised or projecting' upwardfrom such rim.

A handle, b, may project from the peripheryl of the rim. rlhe saidledges serve to support elevate it above the upper surface of the rim Bas to form between them (the rim and the essel, plate, or pan) a seriesof passages for air to pass into the mouth of the pan, and thence tofuel when in the brazier.

The article so made is believed to be an improved appliance for a rau geor stove, and will often save thenecessityof making aiire Within thefire-place ofthe stove orran ge. Thereforeit becomes an excellent meansof saving fuel, as a small amount of charcoal thrown into it will oftensuffice to perform the cooking operations, which, to be performed by thestove or range, would require an expenditure of a much larger amount offuel.

I do not claim a brazier or portable furnace as made with two series ofholes through its sides, one series of them being near its bottom andthe other near its top. The distinguishing differences between this andmy improved brazier are the dat flaring rini and the ledges arrangedthereon and extending above it, the same enabling the article to be usedfor supporting any one of a set of vessels, pans, or kettles varying insize, and also to receive, Without obstructing the draft, the Hush coveror a'vessel adapted to fit the stove-hole.

I claim- The brazier A B, when constructed, as herein described, withribs a a, which adapt it to receive vessels of various diameters, or ofthe same diameter as the stove-hole, Without 0bstructin g the draft.
